Have the programmes from all four games and a couple of pirates. I only have one ticket but live in hope of one day finding the others. Also picked up a scrapbook with quite a few press cuttings from the Chelsea game.

Read the book Passovotchka: Moscow Dynamo by David Downing, a couple of years ago but did not go much on it.

A couple of years ago someone had a menu for sale from the dinner given for the Dynamos by Chelsea. It was signed by entire Dynamo team and I umed and ahed about the buy it now price and then some nipped in and snapped it up. I still kick myself.
